I’m a Bucks County Student. How can I get access to the library’s materials?

Using Library Resources at the Bucks Center

The Resource Center / Library , Room 146, is located at the far end

elevator). It is open whenever the building is open including weekends.

Remember to get a LaSalle ID card, with Library bar-code,
during the first weeks of the semester. It is essential for checking
out books and ordering photocopies of articles from the Library. La
Salle ID Cards are available at the Bucks County Center at the start of
every semester – a schedule will be posted.

Instructions for logging onto the Library computers are posted on
the bulletin board in the computer area of the library to include the
following: how to login to the computers, printing information, using
library databases from home.

When you are NOT at the Bucks Campus, the Library’s resources may be
accessed by connecting your computer to the Connelly Library homepage.

If you need help from a librarian during the Librarian’s off hours,

Don’t forget that the Librarian is there to help you with your
research projects or to give you some ideas if you’re having problems
finding what you want.
